Nuggets@76ers game thread and predictions

[elementally morale]

Embiid is playing like an MVP and the 76ers defensive gameplan is working.

Embiid is so much better when he makes quick decisions.

Went in and checked boxscore, both Jokic and Embiid 10/17, then how is Embiid at 34 and Jokic at 23 I think. Then I look at freethrows and yeah.

This is why nobody can take you seriously.

No sane person watching this game would draw a conclusion free throws are the difference .

Jokic is playing absolutely okay but it's not enough. 25/16 on 11/18 on FG is not a bad game at all. The gameplan worked fine: assists taken away.

Murray choking.

lol what a terrible ending by the Nuggets

[Wally450]

Embiid scores 40+ points. It feels like one of those games where he's lights out.

Embiid been lights out this whole season. Great performance.

Embiid been lights out this whole season. Great performance.

We see this movie every season.

All that matters at this point is if the ending will ever change.

Nuggets still have the same issue with not having a truly competent ball handler to help Jokic. Murray is great, but he's kind of shaky with his handle and passing.

Joel just called Jokic the best player in the league.

I usually don't make predictions but I'l make an exception.

Embiid: 36/13/4 coming with: 10 of 21 from the field, 1 of 3 on 3 pointers and 15/17 from the line
Jokic: 24/11/13. 9 of 14, 1 of 2, 5 of 6

I'd like to see Denver win a close game. It's either that or the 76ers win by double digits. But as I have just one prediction: 115-111 Nuggets.
(No, I don't feel good about my predictions. In fact I have no idea.)

I wasn't THAT far off. Embiid shot better than I thought he would and the 76ers defensive plan was working taking away the usual Jokic assists.

Embiid DID shoot 22 times, as I expected. 41 points instead of the predicted 36. I thought Jokic would have 24, he got 25... good call. 19 rebounds is nice, 3 assists and 4 TOs not so much. I was off there.
Philly deserved the win. Embiid was the better player on the floor tonight and their defensive plan was smarter. Close game, tough loss.

Greetings to 76ers fans.

Definitely. Could it translate into the playoffs and can he stay healthy? Always the biggest concern.
